    I might be wrong but didn't Fenton make a 5 spoke aluminum faced steel rim wheel?
     
  5. They look like a pair of Crestlines that I have. I'd be interested if you are looking to sell them.

    There were a lot of companies making wheels like that, I call them Brand X.

    I had a set of wheels just like that, aluminum face on a steel rim, mine were made by Keystone but like Squirrel says, there were probably 10 manufacturers making wheels just like that.

    They look like the Keystone version, they had a K on the back of the mounting surface. ET's were stamped on the front near the lug nut. Even Sears and Montgomery Ward's sold them. Two piece wheels don't bring alot of money. There's a set of Keystones on ebay right now. OF COURSE the guy forgets to mention they are a two piece wheel!

    The idea of making something and selling it to companies that box it only and sell it under their names has been around for years. The manufacturer probably sold them to anyone who would place the minimum order.
